At one point, Molly would have tried to put you through a wall before letting me touch her neck 😅

Now she happily tolerates deep massage, fascial release, and light mobilisations 😍

A lot of Molly’s discomfort seems to localise around the intervertebral spaces. As a rescue, she’s naturally very flighty, and some recent vet visits appear to have caused a flare-up in her neck tension again (mainly her fear of needles). She also tends to fling her head around when stressed, which has likely further aggravated the area.

Despite this, Molly now very much enjoys her treatments, relaxing throughout sessions with no negative behaviours — a huge change from where she started ❤️

Storm was first seen at the end of 2024 following behavioural and ridden issues including bucking, throwing her rider off, biting and kicking. Her rider had understandably lost confidence and no longer wanted to ride her.

Assessment revealed significant muscular tension alongside a poorly fitting saddle contributing to discomfort, which was subsequently changed.

Storm initially struggled hugely with touch and handling, reacting defensively during treatment.

Fast forward to now, and Storm had her best appointment yet — tolerating treatment throughout with only minor reactions in her previously sore areas. Her little rider is confidently back on board and the pair are now happily jumping up to 80cm with no dramas 💙

A lovely reminder that behaviour is often communication, and with the right management and rehabilitation, the transformation can be huge.

🐾 Toby’s story
Toby came to me with a mystery forelimb lameness affecting his comfort, mobility and ability to enjoy longer walks. Through a tailored rehabilitation plan including massage therapy, laser therapy and therapeutic ultrasound, we focused on reducing discomfort, improving tissue health and restoring function.

Alongside hands-on treatment, Toby worked through focused conditioning exercises to rebuild strength and stability. A huge part of his success also came from lifestyle changes — including stopping repetitive ball throwing — and achieving an incredible 5kg+ weight loss to reduce stress on his joints.

Fast forward to now… Toby has progressively worked back up to 7 mile walks with no lameness and is ready for his next adventure holidays in the Lakes 🐶⛰️

A brilliant example of how rehabilitation, conditioning and lifestyle management can work together for long-term success 💪

Today I attended Nottingham University at their School of Veterinary Medicine for a CPD day. This was a great day (canine based) with some nice talks followed by hours of canine and calf dissections.
This was super useful for me to dig deep into the deeper layers of the muscles, connective tissue and joints to truly understand whats going on under all that skin. Another main focus was FASCIA and wow there is so much of it! Super interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed myself! (A bit too much as a lecturer said I was a dissecting queen and clearly enjoyed chopping away 🙈).
Unfortunately I cant share the photos so enjoy some skelleys instead ❤️
